This update also brings a fix to a bug that would unexpectedly start playing NPR One overnight. Sorry about that! Together with this bug fix, we have also turned off auto-play when you launch the app, so you’ll never accidentally blast “This is NPR One!” in a quiet meeting room again… not that we would know anything about that.
